BTW, this is never needed in a pattern. Just write "topic".

Good to know.

I celebrated too soon. When I apply the stylesheet against my input
file, I get the title, prolog, and body elements on the same level --
which is the desired result -- but title appears below prolog, which
is invalid against the DTD I'm working with. How could I output the
title element above the prolog element?


Input file:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<topic>
    <title>
       <indexterm>Software Requirements</indexterm>Software Requirements
    </title>
    <body>
       <p>Some sample text</p>
    </body>
</topic>


Current output XML:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<topic>
     <prolog>
           <metadata>
              <keywords>
                 <indexterm>
                    <indexterm>Software Requirements</indexterm>
                 </indexterm>
              </keywords>
           </metadata>
    </prolog>
    <title>
       <indexterm>Software Requirements</indexterm>Software Requirements
    </title>
    <body>
       <p>Some sample text</p>
    </body>
</topic>


Desired output XML:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<topic>
    <title>
       <indexterm>Software Requirements</indexterm>Software Requirements
    </title>
     <prolog>
           <metadata>
              <keywords>
                 <indexterm>
                    <indexterm>Software Requirements</indexterm>
                 </indexterm>
              </keywords>
           </metadata>
     </prolog>
    <body>
       <p>Some sample text</p>
    </body>
</topic>

                                     <keywords>

<indexterm>

                                             <xsl:copy-of

                                              </indexterm>

                             </metadata>
                     </prolog>
                     <xsl:apply-templates select="node()"/>
             </xsl:copy>
     </xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="indexterm[parent::title]"/>

     <xsl:template match="@*|node()">
             <xsl:copy>
                     <xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/>
             </xsl:copy>
     </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
